Can we talk about old bears too ?

I'm quite excited as I wonder if I have not found a jewell on ebay :

I have so put a small bid on him, for the moment... But I do not know if I will go up...

The auction page says that this bear is from the 1950s and that he was previously pink. He is 50 cm (19,8'').
I do not know makers very much...  I must admit my few knowledges are only about Steiff and not much more...

In fact I should not buy any more bear this year but, you know, one can not decently let a jewell fly away        ...

I would be grateful if someone can identify the maker :).

Lots of hugs,
Marion :hug:

edit : The nose and eyes seem to be the same as on this one :

I do think he's a lovely old bear, and a jewel in his own right.  I wouldn't be able to make even a remote guess at the maker, but pink bears are a novelty and hard to get ahold of.  I think if you love him for him, you can't go wrong!
